    :smilewave Hey guys! I am new to EC, thanks to someone who suggested it for me. The main purpose for my joining this site is to meet new people and new friends who are like me, but unlike the majority of people. LGBT people are special and unique.

    Just a little bit about myself. I am 21, a full time college student, and I come from a conservative family in the central part of Alabama. :bang: I am still on a journey of personal acceptance, therefore, I am not out. Surely there are others that are in similar circumstances. I hope to make some new friends and we can encourage and support one another, which we all need, especially if there aren't people around us that are supportive for whatever reason.

    I look forward to getting to know some of my EC brothers and sisters. (*hug*) :smilewave
